It's the 2nd lowest completion percentage (47.7%) - only 2004 was a worse start at 43.8%.

It's the 3rd fewest yards at 291 yards. Only 2015 (145 yds) and 2016 (258 yds) are worse. Without the Hail Mary it falls to 251 yards, behind 2016.


It's also the 2nd fewest yards of total offense through 2 games in the last 15 years at 631 yards. Only 2016 had fewer total yards at 628.

We're a Hail Mary against SLU from the worst offense we've seen in 15 years.


ETA - Fwiw, the majority of those seasons had a solid P5 team and an FCS or G5 team in weeks one and two, so the strength of schedule is pretty fair.

Dan Werner is in Columbia laughing his arse off at us thinking Ed Orgeron wasn’t going to micro manage this offense. Just look at what Werner did under freeze compared to working under O

A couple of good breaks in that department. Burrow threw one through a DBs hands last night and another where he couldn't get a foot down. Recovered our own fumble also IIRC.

ETA - I'll take it though.

Multiple 3 and outs is essentially turn overs.

I would prefer 2 turnovers if it meant 4 to 5 tds.. rather than say 1 Td and no turnover. Especially with this defense. If the defense was bad then I would feel differently about the risk.

We don’t sustain offensive drives

It’s hard to believe the scheme by Ensminger is this bad. Is Coach O overruling the plays from the box? I hate teams that pussy out and don’t go for the jugular.

Not unless clapping and screaming, "Let's go!!" is some sort of veto of the play call.

Hey, stop being so negative. You know we have been hiding the real LSU passing game from Auburn.

This coming weekend LSU unleashes it’s true passing attack on the auburn defense for all in the nation to behold!

Please, please, please be true.

Remind me again, as to what happened to the coach with those poor starts in '15 and '16?

Its still no excuse to look like that against Southeastern. We seemed to be the only school thinking like that because other schools blowed away their lesser competetion. Its not even about the score...its about the execusion. We looked bad!
